The Book of Power Girl

What would it look like to make JSA All-Stars stronger? I think that's an option really worth considering.

Edit: I should mention that I've been playing Oracle with just about every JSA Army I've run, because having a bunch of mid-level Heroes makes it so losing Order Markers can be devastating. So maybe mixing some JSA-specific Contingency Plan in there? I know you have an aspect of that in the Field Tactician, and I do like that.

Not entirely sure. I was wondering if we could sort of combine the powers to make it more like Cyclop's Field Commander power, or swapping the once-per-round restriction with something less restrictive.

This is part of my thinking. As-is the JSA really struggle with OM placement and frequent OM loss (I don't know if I've gotten through a game with them without them loosing at least one OM), and it would be nice if a JSAer had a power to mitigate that. We could go with a version more like Contingency Plan, but I feel the current power is more fitting and interesting.

Would people feel better about the power if I made it specifically JSA-focused?

SOCIETY TACTICIAN
At the beginning of your turn, if Power Girl is engaged and all your Order Markers are on Mystery Men and Protégé Army Cards, you may rearrange any unrevealed Order Markers on cards in your army. You may move Order Markers from cards of your destroyed figures.

[IAmBatman]

It'd certainly help with competitive concerns.

True, I forgot they did that small difference in name.

Unless I hear any more objections for Field Tactician as a power, I'm going to move forward with this change:

SOCIETY FIELD TACTICIAN

SP updated with Society Field Tactician and her cost tentatively slotted at 380.

I propose we move Power Girl to Initial Playtesting.

yea. Does the Mystery Men and Protoge restriction for the OM rearrangement power remove concerns of abuse? Or do they still exist since you can rearrange the OMs onto cards of non-Mystery Men/Protoges?

I'm pretty certain the issue is placing the OMs on figures like Joker(I) and Ozy and Brainiac 5 at the start of the round to use their powers, then moving them off unto your offensive figures. The current wording completely prevents you from doing that, so we should be safe.

[IAmBatman]

Cool. Thanks for elaborating. That's one exploit that tends to go over my non-competitive head.
